BEMUTATÓ - INDIKÁTOR • Batarita Társulat

VASAS DANSE: Closed Doors The presence of another person is a stimulus on stage. A stimulus that immediately becomes a question, a challenge, an attack. When two people meet, values, customs, traditions, and languages always come together. Expectations. The compulsion to meet other’s expectations. I have to make room within myself for the other person, who can only find meaning within me according to my own rules and my own axis of experience. That is how my own existence is reinterpreted in the other.

Ever since God gave Adam a companion, fashioned from his rib, in Paradise, the order of the world has been that no one should live alone. Its modality has taken dozens of shades over the millennia since then: cohabitation, bigamy, polygamy, polyandry, all the way until we come to the most familiar form today.

Written in 1909,‘Liliom, or the Life and Death of a Villain' captivates audiences everywhere. It tells the story of a powerful and chaotic love affair between a maid and a carousel operator. It’s a story of misery, raw emotions and fragility. The characters take ownership of their fate and lock themselves in their failures; it is as if they’ve been down the same road a hundred times without ever learning.
